[F8] Loader Component Help

I have a Parent Swf and I load other swf's into a Loader component. If I have a function in the loaded Swf called.. thisFuntion(), ,how do I use the parent SWF to execute? Also can I pass variables to the loaded SWF?

like loadMovie("little.swf",_root.mainLoader);

_root.mainLoader.variable = 12345;

or _root.mainLoader.thisFunction();

hi,

If the Loader Component works just like movie clips do, that's explained in

Understanding target paths after How do you control a movie clip after using loadMovie()?.
